What are the dividing lines between 586 - 686 etc? I
obviously know that a 386 and 486 are just that, but
what about the Pentiums, PIIs, PIIIs etc? Thanks.
Here is what configure.help in kernel-source-2.4.9 package says:
- "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI
486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only "386" kernels will
run on a 386 class machine.
- "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
- "586" for generic Pentium CPUs, possibly lacking the TSC
(time stamp counter) register.
- "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
- "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
- "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II.
- "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III
and Celerons based on the coppermine core.
- "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4.
- "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
- "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
- "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
- "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
- "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchip 2.
- "Winchip-2A" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
- "CyrixIII" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
